You are probably right, he's not a Quisling as that would indicate he is working undercover. He is in fact working in broad daylight. A Knight of the Realm as leader of a socialist party maybe a massive clue.

He may be crap, but he’s not a Quisling, and that kind of hyperbole is just pointless. There are no decent leaders currently in any party.

Labour members should demand a probe on how Starmer, McSweeney duped them. The errant knight promised socialist policies that won him the party leadership.
Then the errant knight axed them, amid a purge on progressives as he lurched right. The red Tories' new theme song: Things can only get bitter.

This is the person encouraging you to sign up on lists that can be used to place you at a violent protest after civility lib organizers inevitably give their signup sheets to the cops without even asking for a subpoena (1/?)

Stancil tweet, August 5, 2023: “*whispers* the political imperative of supporting dems into the 2024 election and the genuine success of biden's economic policies represent an excellent opportunity to finally shove fringe voices out of the movement while keeping real, effective progressives like Bernie and AOC”

Stancil skeets, January 15, 2025:

Skeet 1 of 2: “tons of leftist scum over on twitter calling for my death because I (accurately) pointed out a year ago that biden couldn't simply end the gaza war with a phone call”

Skeet 2: “comparing me to julius streicher for making this point. these people are not your friends, they will never be your friends, they're idiots spun into a dangerous psychosis by social media incentives”

6 skeets:

Alexander the Meh @alexanderthemeh: “Literally what everyone on the Left has been telling you fucking Liberals to do for the past month as he supports a genocide. From day 1, this is what we were saying, and instead ya'll screamed ‘NO YOU HAVE TO VOTE FOR GRANDPA RACIST GENOCIDER!!!’”

Stancil: “Listen, vou child: I've been a brutal and persistent critic of Biden for years, I've pointed out his strange unpopularity with youth for years, I said his age was an enormous and overlooked problem for years. Also if he's going to be the 2024 nominee, it's incredibly important to support him”

Alexander: “You cynical fucking worm- YOU HAVE NOT BEEN A CRITIC OF BIDEN AND STEPPED FOOT ONTO HERE DEFENDING HIM AND GETTING DUNKED ON SINCE DAY ONE. You're a party apparatchik who is a climate denialist and a genocide apologist. And you shit on everyone who told you to replace him at the top of the ticket.”

Stancil skeet 1 of 3: “‘I have not been a critic of Biden’ ahahahahahahahahahahahaha”

Stancil skeet 2: “These people are essentially Fox News viewers: they have a purely affective hatred of Biden and they want to seek out media bubbles where their hatred will be endlessly validated without exception. You can spend years criticizing Biden but the moment you go ‘well wait a second’ they lose their minds”

Stancil skeet 3: “This is why we need to ignore the people soberly intoning about the need to gently engage with the anti-Biden nihilists. They're a mob and they want blood, and the moment you stop giving them exactly what they want, they'll rip you apart too. Everyone not opposed to them is working for them”

Three skeets, September 9, 2023:

Ryan Knight: “Gaslighting people that the ‘economy is great’ when most Americans have less money in their pockets due to rising cost of living was always going to backfire on Democrats. It's clearer than ever that the...” [skeet preview cuts off]

Stancil skeet 1 of 2: “Democrats aren't doing this, nobody is doing this, this (like the idea of widespread economic misery itself) is just another malicious lie being spread by an online movement of fake socialist grifters who are hellbent on wrecking progressives even if it means bringing Trump back.”

Stancil skeet 2: “These people are EXTREMELY not our friends and anyone with a hint of credibility needs to be a little more wary about empowering them just because they play at leftism”

Sign has now gone up outside my front door to help political canvassers understand our point of view (although we've only seen ReformUK, so far):

POLITICAL CANVASSERS
Please do not put your junkmail through our door as it goes straight into recycling.

I will not be voting for anyone that undermined Jeremy Corbyn:
103. Cllr Cathrine Russell, Northampton Council
115. Cllr Danielle Stone, Northampton Borough Council
128. Cllr Janice Duffy, Northampton Borough Council
151. Cllr Naz Choudary, Northampton Council
179. Cllr Vicky Culbard, Northampton Council
180. Cllr Zoe Smith, Northampton Council
268. Cllr Danielle Stone, Northamptonshire County Council
https://labourlist.org/2016/06/over-500-councillors-tell-corbyn-time-to-step-down/

Sir Keir Starmer is a bad joke, a Tory with a red tie, a Trojan horse planted in the Labour Party. A knight of the realm, a QC, member of the Trilateral Commission (their job is to campaign on behalf of bankers and billionaires). He employed an Israeli spy at HQ. He demonises disabled people, runs anti-migrant ads on Facebook.

We don’t have a socialist/TUSC candidate in this ward so we’ll both be giving one vote to the Greens and one to the LibDems.

Bit of a change for somebody that has always voted Labour but Labour have changed enormously since Tony Benn and Dennis Skinner were standing shoulder-to-shoulder on picket lines with Arthur Scargill. Labour, as they are in 2025, can fuck right off.
Or, as Trump might say, #FAFO

Enjoy the rest of your day. May the force be with you.

Haha. Aye, that's a pretty accurate description of them both, a leader of Labour & a uk, seemingly a socialist party & yet a knight of their realm, just doesn't compute.

Correction/Clarification: Ryan “Proud Resister” Knight morphed into Ryan “Proud Socialist” Knight, aka backdoor maga.

Voting for a fringe political party is voting for maga with an added step.

Reminds me of a @nymag.com piece on FL billionaire Jeff Greene I think about more than I'd care to admit—it's astounding the amount of greed it must take to cloud out the obvious: doing even the barest of minimums for society is, if nothing else, rational self-preservation

nymag.com/news/busines...

It's not a stretch to say many residents of Park Avenue harbor vivid fears of a populist revolt like the one seen in The Dark Knight Rises, in which they cower miserably under their sideboards while ragged hordes plunder the silver.

"This is my fear, and it's a real, legitimate fear," Greene says, revving up the engine. "You have this huge, huge class of people who are impoverished. If we keep doing what we're doing, we will build a class of poor people that will take over this country, and the country will not look like what it does today. It will be a different economy, rights, all that stuff will be different."

More often than not, fears like these manifest as loathing for the current administration, as evidenced by the recent wave of Romney fund-raisers in the Hamptons. “Obama wants to take my money and give it to do-nothing animals,” one matron blurted at a recent party at the Pierre for Dick Morris's Screwed!, the latest entry into a growing pile of socioeconomic snuff porn geared toward this audience.

Greene, a registered Democrat, isn't buying this school of thought. “It is kind of a problem in America that so many Americans believe if they elect a different president, everything is going to be fine. This whole idea of American exceptionalism, that we're the greatest, when people don't have health insurance, don't have housing,” he says, swinging past the guesthouse, which has 360-degree views of the bay, and the staff house, which does not. "There are all these people in this country who are just not participating in the American Dream at all,” he says. This makes him uncomfortable, not least because they might try to take a piece of his. “Right now, for some bizarre reason, a lot of these people are supporting Republicans who want to cut taxes on the wealthy," he says. “At some point, if we keep doing this, their numbers are going to keep swelling, it won't be an Obama or a Romney. It will be a Hollande. A Chávez."

"We just have to pay a little more taxes. It's not going to kill us. You buy car insurance. Why not buy some democracy insurance?' People think that Obama is this leftist, socialist guy," he says. "But I don't think they understand what people can go for when they are at the end of their line."

[Jeff Greene] takes a sharp right and points out a mossy dock surrounded by toys. "Speedboat, Jet-Skis, little inflatable boat," he recites. "Ducks!" We chug up the driveway to the main house. It's surprisingly modest, given the property, but then people used to live differently. He and Mei-Sze plan on rebuilding as soon as they are done with their renovation in Palm Beach. He's not sure what he wants it to look like, but one thing is likely: The new property will have gates. "You're in Palm Beach, you're in the Hamptons, you think you're so secure," Greene says. "Do you really think if you had 50,000 angry people coming across the river, you think you're safe?"

Hitler was a communist because he (check notes):
- arrested all German communists.
- neutered labor unions.
- killed every socialist in the NS party once in power during the "knight of the long knives".
- supported Franco against communists.
- fought a war against communist USSR.

I'm DEFINITELY not a Conservative but ANY 'Labour' person who accepts an Honour, of any kind, simply CANT be a Socialist?

The Labour Party was set up by Keir Hardie, a Scot, who would be dumbfounded at a Knight of the Realm, running The 'Labour' Party?

Socialist?
